The Vintage in Review showcase is returning to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in 2026, featuring unique and iconic aircraft that were built and flown during the first half-century of aviation. The showcase will take place July 20-24 at the Interview Circle just east of the Vintage Red Barn.
“Vintage in Review gives a wonderful opportunity to see and learn about planes that can’t be seen anywhere else, with some of our featured aircraft being as old as 90 years,” explained Ray Johnson, Vintage in Review chairman.
This year’s showcase features an incredible range of diverse aircraft that represent 20 years of American civil aviation design. Each day at 10:30 a.m., pilots of these magnificent aircraft will be interviewed alongside their rare and unique antique and classic airplanes. They will be accompanied by the Ladies for Liberty, who will be performing World War II-era songs. There will also be an engine run of the iconic 1915 Curtiss OX-5 immediately following the performances from the Ladies of Liberty.
